I really want to read what you have to say, but so many pop-ups and ads make it really difficult. So many different sites all competing for attention make it a headache to navigate. Is there any help for this?
There is free ad blocker software that you can install online – though I’m not sure what to recommend because I’ve never used it. Sorry for the inconvenience. The ad revenue is how I’m able to keep up this site and still give stuff like this calendar away for free 🙂 Thanks for your understanding.
